Courtesy Presidential Press | Maduro criticized the position of Guyana and the United States
The President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, announced this Monday that Guyana, like Venezuela, is one of the 119 countries that do not recognize the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
This was made known in his program Con Maduro+, in which he added that “61% of the member countries of the United Nations Organization do not recognize the compulsive and obligatory nature of the jurisdiction of the ICJ.”
He stressed that to “recognize it, the consent of the State, of the country, is necessary.”
“If you are going to resolve a controversy there, you go and sign, I recognize the jurisdiction of this court for a certain issue. So it is not obligatory,” he exemplified.
In the territorial dispute over Guyana Esequiba, Georgetown and Washington have insisted on forcing the Venezuelan government to recognize such jurisdiction, however, Guyana and the United States are among the 119 countries that do not recognize the mandatory jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice.
“The Cooperative Republic of Guyana does not recognize it. “Let all these truths be known to have a conscious, awakened people and to know that we have the historical reasons, the legal reason, the moral reason, the political reason, the diplomatic reason on our side,” he stressed.
He insisted that Venezuela “has ratified its historical position of not recognizing that jurisdiction and of adhering to the Geneva Agreement signed in 1966 by the parties in dispute to resolve it in a friendly and satisfactory manner,” when referring to the territorial controversy between Venezuela and Guyana.
Other countries that do not recognize it and that are from Latin America include Argentina, Bolivia and Brazil. There are also several from South America.
